Gesneria longiflora, Hort., is a small-lvd. species, with drooping, long-tubed nicotiana-like white fls. Gn. 33:340.—The botanical position of this plant is in doubt. It is not the G. longiflora, HBK., which is purple-fld., nor G. longiflora. DC., which is Achimenes longiflora. By some it has been confounded with Isoloma longifolium, Decne. Pentarhaphia longiflora, Lindl. (Gesneria ventricosa, Swartz), is a small somewhat branched shrub: lvs. ovate-lanceolate or oblong- lanceolate, acuminate and serrulate, pale green beneath: fls. bright scarlet, 1 ½ in. long, in long-peduncled cymes; corolla-tube somewhat curved, narrowed toward the base; stamens red, much exserted. W. Indies. B.M. 7339.—A good summer- and autumn-blooming stove shrub. CH
